Life

This official, whose name is not recorded, was born in Çanakkale in 1871/72 (AH 1288). The record gives the community as Armenian Christian (Ermeni).

Schooling recorded: Sıbyan Mektebi, with 4 years of schooling recorded. The record marks no qualification (diploma, certificate, training or decoration).

First work is recorded in Çanakkale in 1888/89 (AH 1306). The official was then about 17 years old. The record gives 2 years of unpaid apprenticeship (mülazemet) before the first salary. The first-salary field gives 300 kuruş a month. At the first annual entry, in 1890/91, the official was about 19 years old.

The first annual entry, for 1890/91, shows Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Izmir (İzmir), with 300 kuruş a month. In 1892/93 the record shows Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Çanakkale, with 350 kuruş a month (before: Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti in Izmir).

The highest salary, 350 kuruş a month, is first recorded in 1891/92 as Muhaberat-ı Ecnebiye Memuriyeti. 22 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less. The median salary of all officials that year was 500 kuruş. Over 5 years with a salary the median is 350 kuruş a month, with 1 rise and no cuts. The largest rise, 50 kuruş, is seen in 1891/92. From the first salary to the last the salary grew by 3.93 per cent a year on average. The last salary is recorded in 1894/95, when 24 per cent of the other officials with a recorded salary that year earned less.
